Debate between Kirsty McNeill and Ben Spencer

Wednesday 22nd October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Kirsty McNeill]

We are trying to safeguard it in a number of ways, including through our commitment to food security and, indeed, energy security. I would be delighted to discuss it with her further.

[Dr Ben Spencer (Runnymede and Weybridge) (Con)]
